Around the world someone dies from rabies every 9 minutes. You can help change this.

I am travelling on 24th September 2026 to Arusha District District in Tanzania to spend 2 weeks with the Mission Rabies team vaccinating dogs against Rabies which will help dogs and prevent people catching Rabies and dying a horrible death. I am funding the trip myself and so all money raised will go directly to help the charity.

Over 99% of human rabies cases are caused by an infected dog bite. Once symptoms of the disease develop, it is fatal.

Every year, millions of healthy dogs are inhumanely killed for fear of this deadly disease. However, this doesn't halt the spread of rabies, which causes the deaths of around 59,000 people a year – the majority of which are children under 15.

Science shows that the most effective long-term rabies control strategy is through vaccination of dogs in endemic areas, so we head to rabies hotspots and run mass vaccination and education programmes - protecting both the human and canine populations.

Crucially, it's working. Human deaths in our key project sites have all but been eliminated and we'll keep going until it's zero all around the world.
